Текст песни Placebo - Five Years

Бас-     
  pushing through the market square
  so many mothers sighing
  news had just come over, we have
                              С -  -    
  Five years left of crying

  news guy wept and told us
  he said earth, was really dying
  cried so much his face was wet
  then i knew, he was not lying

  i heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
  there were boys toys, electric guns and TVs
  my brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
  i had to cram so many things to store everything in there
  and all the fat, skinny people
  and all the tall short, people
  and all the nobody people
  and all the somebody people
  never thought i'd need, so many people

  girl my age went off her head
  hit some tiny children
  and if the black hadn't have pulled her off
  then i think, she would have killed them

  soldier with a broken arm
  used to stare into the wheels of a cadillac
  cop knelt to kiss the feet of a priest
  and a queer threw up at the sight of that, well

  think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour
  drinking milkshakes cold and long
  smiling and waving and looking so fine
  don't think you knew you were in this song

  and it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor
  and i thought of ma, and i wanted to get back there
  your face, your waist, the way that you talk
  i miss you you're beautiful

  we got five years stuck on my eyes
  five years, what a surprise, we got
  five years, my brain hurts alot
  five years, that's all we got
  we got, five years
